I stayed with the inestimably talented artists Brian Hurtt and Matt Kindt when we traveled to HeroesCon earlier this month, and was blown away by the watercolor commissions that they had done/were doing as a team. Well, if you're gonna steal, steal from the best, I say, so I'm going to try my hand at the same thing. The drawings are nowhere NEAR as pretty as Brian's, and the color nowhere NEAR as artfully handled as Matt, but maybe you like my drawings, and plan to be at the San Diego Comic Con in a few days time, and maybe YOU'LL want to get a commission from me. AFTER you get one from Matt and Brian, of course (if they're offering).

Here's an example of the type of pic you'd get: Han Solo! Only if you ASK for Han Solo, of course. If you asked for Krang from the Ninja Turtles and got a Han Solo instead, you'd probably be pretty miffed. I would. (sorry for the weird lines on the pic; my phone was doing something odd)

$25 bucks for a 5x7 hand drawn and watercolored character, your choice. You pick it up at the table during one of my signing times. Hit the paypal button below, send me the cost, and then send me an e-mail at chris@curiousoldlibrary.com telling me the character that you want.

I'll be taking commissions ONLY until Monday night. If you want one, order before midnight Eastern time on Mondaynight (the 9th).

Though I'll be doing whole-body images, here are a few more watercolors just to show how I'll handle the colors.
